"The stringent guidelines of the Melrose Commons area definitely affected the design of the building," said Magnus Magnusson, principal of Magnusson Architecture & Planning.
Adding over two hundred units of housing to a block formerly occupied by vacant city-owned properties, Parkview Commons was completed in three phases. Parkview I, the first phase, consists of 110 units in a courtyard plan that rises 9 stories. Parkview II consists of an 89,000 s/f, mixed-use residential building with 88 units.
Parkview III, the final building in the Parkview Commons development creates opportunities for home ownership. Built through the NYC Housing Preservation Department's New Foundations program, Parkview III consists of four 3-family townhouses.
